i'm wanting to do what most civic owners don't do and keep my factory D series motor and build it up. with that said, i'm interested in a supercharger. would buying one be a wise choice since it's a daily driver or would i be better off just leaving the engine N/A?

superchargers are cooool though, instant power on tap! just not as much of it as with turbo's. For real driving, i.e. track driving with corners n stuff they're better. turbo's are better for drag racing and showing off imo. Plus with a turbo you've got the lag while it spools, and then you'll suffer from torque steer as soon as you go round a corner. I'd still go turbo any day though ;-)
